Effect of sheep manure compost, sulfur and irrigation water quality on soil electrical conductivity (EC, ds/m) of maize plant
Keywords:
composted manure, wastewater, pollutionAbstract
The main objective of the present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of of sheep manure compost, sulfur and irrigation water quality on soil electrical conductivity (EC, ds/m) of maize plant. The study was carried out in a pot experiment at A farm in the Al-Fatih area, north of the City of Derna. The soil sample used in this study was a calcareous soil (typiccalciorthids), sheep manure compost was applied at a rate of 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12% by weight to the soil. Sulfur was applied to the soil at a rate of 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4% by weight. Two types of water were Tap water and drainage water. The tested plant was Maize (Zeya, L.) and it was cultivated for 60days from sowing. The irrigation with drainage water has a significant effect on increasing soil electrical conductivity (EC). The electrical conductivity (EC), increased significantly with increasing the rate application of sheep manure compost and sulfur while the pH was decrease.
